LOL. I was the same.
From what i understand. They could even bother to make the sure Mandarin was pronounced correctly.
There's also a small bunch of other things wrong with Firefly on that score.
Ohh dear.

Evening everyone. What's up?
You better hope Claire takes you along with the food she took to go.
I just made a GIF of Danny from IF getting beat up.
I've reached to the conclusion that botyh Avengers movies are just fanfiction. Bad fanfiction at that.
Preach.
I just had the worst thought. Most of the female cast would be your run of the mill female cliches from anime.
I'm still ranking him higher than Mark Millar. All y'all Kingsman stans really don't got room to talk. JS.
Though the question rises if a fake feminist is worst that a MRA. You have to take in consideration that even with the problematic nature of Whedon behind the scenes,
he *did* inspire a lot of young women who are now creative amazing stories. On the other hand, Millar probably inspired some women too out of "fuck you" spite, so who knows what the actual tally is? Not to dismiss the accusations, but just a thought.

Defenders spoiler
LMAO he lost to literally every other member of the team!
Waiting for Game of Thrones and for my bank to clear up this fraud thing and issue me a new card. And punishing myself by watching Iron Fist
Gas lighting your wife for 15 years and all of the women involved about your behavior might though.
That is an absolutely shit position to take, and an appalling argument to make.
Err, I think debating over who is worse is besides the point. If you're revealed to be a hypocrite, you should be called out. If you're a PoS MRA that's making some blatantly misogynistic work or whatever, you should be called out.
"Dumbest Iron Fist ever"
1. I was being facetious about a particular poster
2. I wasn't actually making that argument nor taking that position. That level of seriousness and introspection is off brand for me. I advocate for Luci.
So you were playing devils advocate in a discussion that didn't need one?
Red Skull baby out the window Mark Millar?

Lol.
Hope everything gets sorted for you and why you punishing yourself, man?? Don't do that!!
But I need to for Defenders. Gotta finish what I started
Christ, Millar is a horrible person.
No, I was expressing a stray thought. It's not an argument; I have no research for the thesis nor do I intend to expound upon it further. It's not something I believe, nor is if something that I think warrants further discussion. I make random posts, like, all the time.
I personally think of him as "females are only there to prove heterosexuality" or "rape is a great plot device" Mark Millar, but to each his own.

You're already in, so there's no talking you out of it. But you might want to take a break between the two shows now that you're committed. The struggle to get thru IF is going to burn you if you move into Defenders too quickly.
Well that panel does go on to imply that Red Skull had that woman raped after forcing her to murder her husband with scissors and tossing the baby out.
Off topic but I don't think you hang around the funko pop thread but we're expecting wave 2 of KH Pops and the KH Mystery minis were announced about a month ago.
We're going with the "I just said it, but I didn't mean it" position now? Come on.
AND HALT.

Take it how you want to, Diz. I certainly can't stop you drawing your conclusions, but I personally find it easiest to deal with me as a vapid cloud cuckoolander.
Perfect. Guess I'm free then
I mean, I'm asking you to expand upon it and not backtrack. If you've got a notion worth exploring then lets go. If you should have kept that to yourself then, yeah. You said it, not me.

Bought Arkham Knight on sale a few days ago and I'm having quite a bit of fun. Using the batmobile for combat and chases is pretty annoying, though. I wish it was just a cool mode of transport and not a key component.

I came away mixed about AK. I got a bit annoyed about the last few missions.
That's gonna bug you as it becomes increasingly more necessary over time. Especially for the Riddler stuff and tank missions. Outside of that and the quality of the boss fights, the game is good.
Also the Knight's identity is painfully obvious
Mark Millar is objectively worse.
Tell me about the Whedon story where the sexual assult of a woman is just flavoring. Not addressing the actual implications of said horrid events. But as a human plot devicies with no agancy
Until then, no. Millar is worse. Millar and The SAO guy would get along fucking swimmingly

for those of you in here that are Thrones fans: does anyone care about the incest that might take place between Jon & Dany? I get a lot of heat in the OTs for being so supportive of it
I feel like over the years, GoT has conditioned me enough to the point where I wouldn't make a big fuss if it actually happened, and sure, I see the obvious chemistry they have. But not making a fuss is not the same as being super supportive of it, because well... it's still incest.
EDIT:
Also if people are specifically calling you out, then yea, you probably are overdoing it lol

I don't support it but it's not like they know.
Oh yea, that's another thing. If they did it after knowing, then gross...
Also doing it, and then finding out later is just dumb as shit, so honestly, just don't do it.
We've been watching a brother and sister fuck for 7 seasons, so in terms of shock value it won't really be that big a deal.
That said, nah you probably shouldn't be supportive of it. They probably wouldn't go through with it if they knew, or at least Jon wouldn't. Dany's got full knowledge of the Targaryen family tree having a ton of incest so she might not mind as much. Either way it's still creepy. She's his aunt.

I think what it is is that the show's desensitized the audience to the incest. We've literally seen it since the first episode.
Also yeah I am probably the most vocal advocate for in the thread. Heshinsi is too but I think I've talked about it a lot more.
Jon will be weirded out but I think for Dany it'll be the opposite.
aunt/nephew, uncle/niece, cousin/cousin these types of incest aren't taboo in Westerosi culture. Ned Stark's parents were cousins. As long as it's not direct, brother/sister like Jaime/Cersei or father/daughter like Craster.
If Jon & Dany were brother and sister then it's still a hell no for me
What's there to support about it?
If they're unaware at the time, whatever. Can't fault them. If they do it knowingly? Weird. But the whole show is weird; a brother and sister had 3 kids together, so. I dunno why I'm holding any modern moral standard to characters on there.
Well like I said, if you're overdoing it, can't blame others for calling you out I guess.
I get that it ain't taboo in their universe, but I'd still consider it weird to me to be avidly wanting them to fuck. Also I admittedly am not well-versed regarding incest, but it seems ultimately arbitrary to say that one is fine with cousins fucking, but not brother and sister.
If anything, my judgement would be for the showrunners I guess, where I'll at least have one moment where I'm thinking to myself "Why did they feel the need to show more incest between these two main characters?" After all, it's not like the dynamic between Cersei and Jaime, where their love for each other is a big part of who they are. Right now they're in uncharted territory, so it's not like they're being forced to make the two of them a thing.
This and a thousand other reasons are why you're getting it.
You have to remember that the West doesn't really approve of that, Artisan. Whether or not it's acceptable in Westeros/Essos/whatever other part of the Thrones universe is irrelevant to the watcher. We look at it, and our initial reaction is, "UH, what the hell," or something to that effect. Know your audience.

Sword Art Online has a bad habit of humiliating any female characters who can compete with the All Mighty Kirito.
That show is all kinds of fucked up. I try my damndest not to think of the shit that goes on in 'Westeros' in real life terms at all.
At all.
It's not even acceptable in Westros. It's seen as f'ed up, and the people with values aren't with it. But when royals do it, who can say anything?
On the Danny and John question.
Yeah. I'm not down with him fucking his Aunty.
Yeah. I'm not down with him fucking his Aunty.
It's not just you.
That's because he has Rap and R&B playing wherever he goes. ;P
Nigga really loves his coffee, alright
I was kind of surprised that the other couple didn't get down, or split.
Some people just gotta have it to be functional.
